40Ar/39Ar constraints on the tectonic evolution of the central part of the Mesoproterozoic Sveconorwegian orogen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Structural data combined with 40Ar/39Ar geochronology of hornblende, muscovite, biotite and plagioclase from 37 localities along three transects allow the time-constrained reconstruction of the Sveconorwegian deformation ... -
A 100 year hydrographical record of the Barsnesfjord, Western Norway and its environmental application
(Bachelor thesis, 2014)A 100 year hydrographical data set of the parameters temperature, oxygen and salinity is analyzed from the water column of the Outer Barsnesfjord, Western Norway, at intervals from 0 m to 75 m water depth. After 1960, ... -
A long-term dataset of climatic mass balance, snow conditions, and runoff in Svalbard (1957-2018)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The climate in Svalbard is undergoing amplified change compared to the global mean. This has major implications for runoff from glaciers and seasonal snow on land. We use a coupled energy balance–subsurface model, forced ... -
A predictive model for the spectral "bioalbedo" of snow
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We present the first physical model for the spectral “bioalbedo” of snow, which predicts the spectral reflectance of snowpacks contaminated with variable concentrations of red snow algae with varying diameters and pigment ... -
Advancing restoration ecology: A new approach to predict time to recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)1. Species composition is a vital attribute of any ecosystem. Accordingly, ecological restoration often has the original, or “natural,” species composition as its target. However, we still lack adequate methods for predicting ... -
Aerodynamic roughness length of crevassed tidewater glaciers from UAV mapping
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The aerodynamic roughness length (z_0) is an important parameter in the bulk approach for calculating turbulent fluxes and their contribution to ice melt. However, z_0 estimates for heavily crevassed tidewater glaciers are ... -
Airborne Wind Energy
(Bachelor thesis, 2020)Luftbåren vindenergi Luftbåren vindenergi er systemer der en kite eller glider brukes til å utnytte energi fra vinden på store høyder. Vindhastigheten øker med høyde. Fra bakken til 500 meters høyde kan vindhastigheten ... -
Aktsom og attraktiv arealbruksendring i Storebru- og Løkkebøområdet, Flora kommune
(Bachelor thesis, 2015)Storebru og Løkkebø er lokalisert i Flora kommune i Sogn og Fjordane fylkeskommune. Flora kommune ønsker å finne områder i Storebru- og Løkkebøområdet som egner seg til boligbebyggelse. Utbyggingsområdene skal ta hensyn ... -
Analyse av resente sedimentkjerner i den anoksiske Nærøyfjorden, Vest-Norge

An analysis of sewershed inlet ponding within the Alna river catchment in Oslo, Norway
(Master thesis, 2022)The risks associated with urban flooding are increasing in response to global climate change, urbanization, and inadequate stormwater infrastructure. This rapidly increasing risk requires that cities across the globe respond ... -
Anbefalinger for flomregistrering i Statens vegvesen
(Master thesis, 2019)Denne oppgaven markerer slutten på en mastergrad i Climate Change Management ved Høgskulen på Vestlandet. Dette har vært en travel, men lærerik tid. Stor takk til mine veiledere; Marte Lange Vik og Guro Marie Dyngen. ... -
Annual River Runoff Variations and Trends for the Andes Cordillera
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We analyzed modeled river runoff variations west of the Andes Cordillera’s continental divide for 1979/80–2013/14 (35 years). Our foci were annual runoff conditions, runoff origins (rain, snowmelt, and glacier ice), and ... -
Anticlockwise metamorphic pressure–temperature paths and nappe stacking in the Reisa Nappe Complex in the Scandinavian Caledonides, northern Norway: evidence for weakening of lower continental crust before and during continental collision
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This study investigates the tectonostratigraphy and metamorphic and tectonic evolution of the Caledonian Reisa Nappe Complex (RNC; from bottom to top: Vaddas, Kåfjord, and Nordmannvik nappes) in northern Troms, Norway. ... -
Application of copper(II)-based chemicals induces CH3Br and CH3Cl emissions from soil and seawater
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Methyl bromide (CH3Br) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl) are major carriers of atmospheric bromine and chlorine, respectively, which can catalyze stratospheric ozone depletion. However, in our current understanding, there are ... -
Approaching the Limits: The environmental load of Norwegian leisure consumption
(Master thesis, 2019)Through the participation in leisure activities, people consume goods and services that impact the environment. The emission of greenhouse gas emissions constitutes a large part of these impacts, but official inventories ... -
Arctic climate shifts drive rapid ecosystem responses across the West Greenland landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Prediction of high latitude response to climate change is hampered by poor understanding of the role of nonlinear changes in ecosystem forcing and response. While the effects of nonlinear climate change are often delayed ... -
Arctic terrestrial hydrology: A synthesis of processes, regional effects, and research challenges
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Terrestrial hydrology is central to the Arctic system and its freshwater circulation. Water transport and water constituents vary, however, across a very diverse geography. In this paper, which is a component of the Arctic ... -
Arealbruksendringers påvirkning på avrenning og blågrønne strukturer som et klimatilpasningstiltak mot fremtidige mengder overvann. En case study fra Harakollen i Øvre Eiker, Viken fylke
(Master thesis, 2021)Økt nedbør og økt nedbørintensitet som en konsekvens av klimaendringer, kombinert med en økende grad av impermeable overflater som skyldes fortetning, gir store utfordringer knyttet til overvannshåndtering. I tillegg til ...
